First of all, thank you Bepe for a wonderful achievement.
I've upgraded yesterday, everything is much smoother and faster than before but i have one problem: GPS receiver is malfuntioning. Seems My Mio GPS software hangs each time it detects the GPS antenna while it didn't before.
Has the new ROM upgraded the radio as well? is fo is is possible to go back to old radio? Will it erase everyhting on my Touch ?
Thank you
Not sure it's due to bepe's rom, cause I'm having exactly the same problem with the original rom... the app freeze everytime the antenna is detected. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong but I'm stuck at this for days now :-(
If you uncheck in the settings for external gps the box to let the device automatically manage the gps, then it's not freezing anymore... but Igo doesn't detect the gps antenna neither so...
I tried different com port, diferent bauds... with tomtom port 4 bauds 4800 worked perfectly... but with Igo ??
Anyone have had this problem?
After unchecking the settings for external gps the box to let the device automatically manage the gps, i get " GPS could not be found" error.
anyone knows how to fix that ?
I have the same problem with Igo and the original french HTC rom
with MioMap3.2 I manually set the GPS port (in MioMap) to use COM 4 and it works for me. On the Start Menu->Settings->System->External GPS, my GPS Program Port is set to COM4 and Hardware port is set to None. I let Windows Manage GPS automatically.
GPS receiver driver ?
Are there any drivers for the GPS receiver or has the radio version something to do about the fact the GPS won't work properly with Bepe's .67 opera version ?

Hi, I have a brand new XDA Mini, but with Qtek S100 WWE Rom 1.12, and I bought a Bluetooth GPS, Xaiox NAVOne 2.0...
Bluetooth manager can see the gps without problems, but my Medion2004 Navigation Software says, no GPS is avaiable.
I've already read in the users manual, that GPS needs Com8.
As I see in Start -- Settings -- System -- Bluetooth settings, xda mini has Com5 for outbond port, and Com4 for inbound port.
How can I change ? No program is running, if I check.
Please, help me, thanks.
Nobody has a good idea ? I have already tried the Pocket Bluetooth Tools, it can give a solution, to change COM port 5 to COM port 8, my bluetooth gps requires this port.
BUT, this screenshot appears only a small moment (0,1sec) when I install NAVone2.0 gps...
I installed this gps 100 times, everything is the same.
Can you suggest me another bluetooth tools application?
The problem is simple, to change COM 5 to COM 8.
Thanks in advance.
You could try installing gpsgate from franson
http://franson.com/gpsgate/
change software!
I think you should try change software. I have tomtom 5 to my s100 and it works just fine..
Dear Htc fellows,
My bluetooth GPS is working strange on my Universal, but on iPaq with
WM2003 works as a charm. The BT GPS is new Solar GPS with new Mediatek
chipset.
It's not working with iGo 2006 and even not Tomtom 5 or Tomtom 6.
I can find the BT GPS in BT manager, I can pair it, but I dont know why,
it needs a pass key even if it shouldn't. Then when I explore it's
services, The popup come again asking me if I will allow external BT
device to connect to my Universal and it come asking passkey again (Why?).
I can't even enter an empty passkey (bt device doesen't require it). After that I have successfully paired the device. I can add it's serial port to enumerate on com ports 8 or 4.
When I start Tomtom, it doesent detect the device at all. If I use iGo, it detects, gets datas and disappear, it's allways appeared for 1 second and then 5 seconds not. No matter Which bitrate I set (device is written to be 9600) it needs to be in NMEA protocol, not SIRF.
When I use some freeware GPS programs, it seams to be working ok, it shows satelites and it's not disappearing.
What can I do with that???
I have some idea that it's probably about WM5 and it's security....
How can I setup com security in registry? can I set the port speads manually atd... I had performed a hard reset and it still don't work. Can ROM update or AKU update help me?
Does anyone have some idea what should I try now?

Could you find a solution??
Hi,
I have the same problem exactly and could not find anything on the net. Did you solve your problem?
well ...
i know that there is a problem with GPS and WM5 and so there is this patch which i install every time i hard reset .....
the guys i bought MY GPS from gave me this ... and they are pretty knowledgable .....
it works well ....
try it !
tried
My OS version is WM2003 but tried anyway.. Did not work.. can there be version for WM2003??
did you ?
did you define an outgoing com port for the device (com 4 for example ?)
com port definition
well, igo finds the device an COM 6 actually, it connects too.. but stays connected just for a second, then again and again..
I installed GPSGate and created a virtual com port 7. I manually configured the GPS receiver connection to COM 7 on igo.. But all the same.. :
do you advice another way?
one other thing the device works with navigon 5.0 and tomtom 6.0 smoothly, no problem.. only igo..
well...
IGO is CRAP ... that is well known .... lots of bugs ...
i am sorry .. i do not know how to solve your problem...
but i suggest using destinator 6 ..... (that's what i use) ....
simple ... nice looking .... big buttons and able to navigate to your contacts directly (especially useful if you have Phone Edition)
oh ... and ... works great !
I got the Holux GPSlim 236 GPS. I can pair the GPS with Universial. But I cannot set the com port at all. A pop up window always say the com port (I tried everyone of the ports) is not available.
Any one got a solution, does the GPS bug fix help ? and what does it fix ?
Might seem a bit obvious, but have you tried the code "0000" when pairing your device?
Once paired...did you define an outgoing serial port on "Bluetooth Settings" menu on your WinCE?
I have a royaltek bluetooth GPS and it's been working well with TomTom[5|6]...I use '0000' as passkey (default on many 'non-interactive' devices), once paired I clicked on 'COM Ports' tab and defined a new outgoing port, the wizard should list the GPS as an available device to create a COM port so I used it and I got a 'com0'.
Once the outgoing port was created I had to tell TomTom to use the new 'com0' and worked like a charm
It's been working since TomTom 5.21 (previous versions didn't work).
Hi, sorry for my bad english.
I have found a tool caled Hermes Tweaker which allows me to enable and disable GPS in my HTC TyTN. It means that my PDA has builtin GPS receiver? Can I use navigation software without external GPS receiver? How to configure it, which COM ports are valid?
The functions are build into Windows Mobile. They are disabled by default, because the Hermes has no buildin GPS receiver.
Hermes Tweaker just enables the disabled functions, though they won't work.
I've turned on this setting myself and have the GPS icon now in settings, connections...
The second poster seems to be saying that this will never work? (im guessing he meant it wont work without a gps unit as the hardware is physically missing in the hermes itself)
I have a bluetooth GPS working fine on COM9 of my hermes.. i'd like to use the inbuilt GPS application to share the GPS to many apps.. I set up the app to use COM3 as its GPS port and COM9 as the port talking to the hardware.. but it doesn't work.
I cant see why it will make any difference if the reciever is internal or not as long as the right COM ports are set.. but it isn't working.. has anyone got this working themselves on a hermes?
Cheers,
sam
no because the neccsary drivers required arent installed either so it wont work, which is the reason why its hidden
someone said that if you try to connect an application BEFORE of tomtom, it recognize the gps...
turn GPS on
launch gpsTuner (and see if it recognize the gps on com 9)
if yes, tomtom should work on same port.
not tested, but if you have tried another application different from tomtom, my words are not useful..
Hi
I just flashing my cruise with the new official HTC Rom(French).
Now my gps won't work anymore. Everytime i setup my GPS port(com1-com9)in parameter "External GPS", the parameter are not saved.
Tomtom say: "no GPS device"
any idea
Thanks
PS: sorry for my bad english!!!
After flashing always make a HARD reset ( push gps button and explorer button and reset button with stylus then push green button 2 times ) and it 'll solve all your probleme
Thanks
but i does not change anything.
I just perform a hard reset and always unable to save my gps port parameters.
any other idea?
Your gps doesn't work or you can't save the port on windows gps settings?
i can't save the hardware port on windows gps settings
Why do you want to save it , when you launch tomtom/igo they found the gps automaticaly and it works fine.
There might be a problem with the settings in "External GPS" (under "connections" menu).
In my case it shows COM4 (programs tab) / (none) (hardware tab) / Manage GPS automatically (access tab)
And ofcourse both Tomtom and IGO8 are configured to use COM4.
if i am not configuring the GPS com port, tomtom are not able to find GPS device: "No GPS device found"
I try "Integrated GPS Device" and " GPS NMEA" with the same result.
I use TomTom 7.450.9028
I also use TomTom 7.450.9028 (and iGO8) with no problems........
My device is configured to use programs => COM4, hardware => (none) as I told you. Sorry if I can't help you more than this.........
i try the same parameter as you... and it works!!!
thanks
Nice to have helped you!

Radio 1.59.42.15 seems to play havoc with Destinator
After upgrading a Polaris to the most recent HTC Official WM6.1 ROM (Portuguese) I started having problems with Destinator 7.
The device detects the GPS signal and then loses it every 20 seconds or so. If you go back to the GPS settings in Destinator, you see that the GPS Antenna is OK, with 7 or satellites, and then you go back to the map and it works for a while (another 20s) before it loses GPS signal again.
I tested this on 3 HTC Cruise and it is always the same.
I tried upgrading the radio but that didnt work because Radio 1.64.xx.xx doesnt seem to work on this ROM (no sound on calls, poor GSM/3G reception).
I also tried Radio 1.58.21.23, and that still gives me problems with GSM/3G.
Here is the info on the HTC ROM
R 1.59.42.15
G 25.69.30.05H
D 3.13.00.00
Has anyone been through this and found a way out?
Thanks
Andre
Did you try this Radio Rom?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2787760&postcount=262
It seems to be a better/newer one
Tried the ROM but
Scotty, thanks for the suggestion - that didn´t help, though.
Now, here´s the funny part: I decided to use Destinator 6 and guess what? It worked like a charm: 8 satellites in 30s, no loss of signal. Go figure!
Destinator 7 works on all other HTC devices and used to work on the BetaPortuguese ROM I had. I don´t really understand why the radio messes up with GPS so much. Still, I´m glad I found a solution.
Thank you for the support!

YOU HAVE TO INSTALL TOMTOM 7 - ALL WORKS IMMTLY
OTHERWISE WITH THE OLDER VERSIONS yOU HAVE TO ACTIVATE COM PORT 7 TO MAKE IT WORK
THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THE LOW SENSITIVITY OF THE BIULT IN RECEIVER. IT WORKS BUT CANNOT COMPARE TO AN EXTERNAL ONE
